|Learning Tasks: |

| |

|Word Bank |

|Create a word bank to collect new words from this unit. These words can be used in discussions and in journal writing to reinforce their proper use. Use the word |

|bank to review making nouns plural, phonics rules already learned, etc. Maintain the word bank throughout the unit. Refer to it in shared writings for spellings |

|and to model for students to use it. Refer students to it when writing or speaking. (W.K.7, L.K.1b,c, L.K.6) |

| |

|Read Aloud |

|Read a book about Washington D.C. tell students to listen carefully for information describing Washington D.C. After reading, together create a brief written |

|description of Washington D.C. Leave this posted for the next day. Students could illustrate a picture to describe Washington D.C. after this lesson and write a |

|sentence about it. |

|(Following this, continue with the next activity the next day.) |

| |

|Ask students to think of a place they have been or like to go. (You may want to have parents send in a picture of somewhere ahead of time.) Select a place |

|yourself and model telling the place and a little to describe. (For example: The mountains have snow. It is cold at the mountains.) Emphasize that you are |

|describing the place, not telling a story about a trip. (RI.K.1, SL.K.4) |

| |

|Positional Word Hunt (Prepositions) |

|Read Bears in the Night to introduce prepositions. After reading, guide students back through the text to “hunt” for preposition words. Create a list of |

|prepositions as you do. Add others to the list as well. Be sure to include those that are not positional words also like to, from, of, for, with. Practice using|

|them in sentences orally. Decide on a nonverbal signal like two hands in the air for students to use whenever they hear a preposition or see one during a certain |

|time of the day. Include prepositions in the morning message this week and have students highlight them when you discuss it. See if they find them in text during|

|guided reading groups. (L.K.1e ) |

| |

| |

|Reading (Informative Text) Gathering Information |

|Create a KWL chart for American symbols and holidays to set the stage for asking questions, answering questions, and gathering information under main topics (see |

|Additional Resources for a KWL chart sample). Teachers may need to model the questioning until the students begin to generate research questions on their own. As |

|the class reads an informational book (e.g., The Liberty Bell, by Lloyd G. Douglas), gather information about the main topic, noting elements of informational |

|text, such as photographs or text boxes. Remind the students of the importance of also studying illustrations for information. Add the information to the KWL |

|chart. Look for connections between ideas as you add information to the charts. Use sticky notes or whiteboards for students to fully participate in adding |

|information to the charts. |

|(RI.K.1, RI.K.2, RI.K.3, RI.K.7, RI.K.8) |

| |

|Writing /Informative |

|Choose one of the symbols or holidays on your KWL chart and write a complete sentence or two about it. Be sure to use the information on your chart as you write. |

|Illustrate your ideas before you are finished. (W.K.2, W.K.8, SL.K.5, L.K.1a, L.K.2d) |
